Re: KISSlicer 1.5 Beta 2 - in development
On Mac (Yosemite) things are working fine. I did notice that the skirt prints fine but overlaps about 2cm or so. I don't recall seeing this in the earlier beta and none of the previous releases did this. It doesn't hurt anything, just different behavior.

If you mean the overlap after completing one circle, this seems to be just a wipe, not an actual extrusion.mhackney wrote:On Mac (Yosemite) things are working fine.

I'll have to scrutinize on the next print. It is a very long wipe!

Yup, it is a wipe movement nearly 3cm long. I think I like that but 1 cm is likely enough!

Re: KISSlicer 1.5 Beta 2 - in development
The wipe is simply a percentage of the total path length for the prime. Hopefully it doesn't waste too much time!
By the way, I just added the Linux builds to the Dropbox folder. (For once it is a bit ahead of the Mac and Win versions...you can play with the widget "scheme" [8^)

Re: KISSlicer 1.5 Beta 2 - in development
Thanks Jonathan, that makes sense now. It really isn't wasting too much time, this was a 4" diameter skirt. Not sure if its worth doing a % with a cap of 10mm?
cheers,
Michael

good job, seeing good prints! like the extras!
experiencing faster slicing as well it seems.

Re: KISSlicer 1.5 Beta 2 - in development
Windows builds for 1.5 beta 2.10 are in the dropbox folder.
updates:
- now you can select the UI theme (not that important, I know, but at least you can make an ugly GUI into the best ugly possible [8^)
- Profiles now auto-sort themselves by name (and some better handling of assigned extruder materials when you delete a material)
- limit the prime wipe (for the skirt / wall) to no more than 10mm
- You can import reference setting profiles (still working on this)
- added a setting so the destring suck and prime speeds can be different
thanks,
Jonathan

Re: KISSlicer 1.5 Beta 2 - in development
Suck/prime speeds:
I have my suck set fast and prime set slow as below. These are the settings I use when I post process the gcode to modify the suck/prime speeds that give very good results and no jamming whatsoever with PLA (E3D Systems Kraken hot end, Rostock Max printer):
suck = 2mm @ 55mm/s = 3300mm/min
prime = 2mm @ 20mm/s = 1200mm/min
Using these, here is what the beta generated:
;
; 'Crown Path', 0.4 [feed mm/s], 15.0 [head mm/s]
G1 X-6.11 Y-3.59 E10.0947
G1 X-6.11 Y-3.59 Z0.2 E10.0947
G1 E12.0947 F1200
G1 X5.35 Y-3.6 E12.4355 F900
G1 X6.39 Y-3.53 E12.4665
;
; 'Destring/Wipe/Jump Path', 0.0 [feed mm/s], 15.0 [head mm/s]
G1 X6.39 Y-3.53 E12.4665 F12000 <== what is this?
G1 E10.4665 F3300 <== the suck of 2mm @ 3300mm/min
G1 X6.39 Y-3.53 E10.4665 F900 <== what's this?
G1 X6.39 Y-3.53 Z0.4 E10.4665 F12000 <== the prime @ 1200mm/min
I'm just curious what the two blue lines of code are for?
cheers,
Michael

Excellent question. That behavior should be for travelling to a new location, and for some reason KISSlicer didn't realize we were already there. I will check this out.
